American Classical Mahogany Dressing Bureau Inlaid in the Dutch Fashion, third quarter 19th century, the rectilinear mirror plate in a frame with foliate and urn inlay, on turned columns joined to a shallow band of drawers, the case with a projecting drawer over a pair of drawers, flanked by columns, with marquetry inlays throughout, h. 66-1/2", w. 39-3/4", d. 32-1/4".

In overall good condition. The piece exhibits normal indications of age and use including mars, repairs, wear, shrinkage and fewer veneer losses than would be expected with such a profusely inlaid piece. There are some scattered veneer/inlay losses, most notably to three of the corners of the upper drawer; a loss at a corner of a small recessed drawer, a loss of about 1/2" by 2" on the upper left corner of the lower drawer; losses to the front apron of about 3/8" by 1-1/2" and 3/8" by 2", a 3/8" by 1-1/4" loss just below one side panel, and extensive losses to the bottom rail on each side of the case. Brasses replaced. Case somewhat loose.
